Introduction to NFS Utilities

The NFS Utilities package contains the userspace server and client tools necessary to use the kernel's NFS abilities. NFS is a protocol that allows sharing file systems over the network.

Dependencies

Required

• Portmap

Optional for NFSv4 Support

• Pkg-config
• libevent
• libnsfidmap

Optional for GSS (RPC Security) Support

• Pkg-config
• (MIT krb5 or Heimdal) or (libgssapi and librpcsecgss)
• SPKM-3 for Additional SPKM-3 Support

Creating the nobody/nogroup User/Group

groupadd -g 65533 nogroup &&
groupadd -g 65534 nobody &&
useradd -c "Nobody" -d /dev/null \
        -u 65534 -g nobody -s /bin/false nobody

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --disable-nfsv4 --disable-gss &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

This package does not install any libraries so only one installation is needed.

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" USE_ARCH=32 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --disable-nfsv4 --disable-gss &&
make

Install the package

make install

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" USE_ARCH=n32 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --disable-nfsv4 --disable-gss &&
make

Install the package

make install

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" USE_ARCH=64 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --disable-nfsv4 --disable-gss &&
make

Install the package

make install

Configuring

Client

Bootscript

Install the init script from the blfs-bootscripts package:

make install-nfs-client

/etc/fstab

Below are 2 example entries in /etc/fstab for a nfs mounted /home and /usr.

<server-name>:/home  /home nfs   rw,_netdev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
<server-name>:/usr   /usr  nfs   ro,_netdev,rsize=8192            0 0

<server-name> in the above example is an ip address or a hostname.

Server

Server Configuration

/etc/exports contains the exported directories on NFS servers. The "NFS HowTo", http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/. contains information on how to configure the servers and clients. For example, for sharing the /home directory over the local network, the following line may be added:

/home <192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0>(rw,subtree_check,anonuid=99,anongid=99)

Bootscript

Install the init script from the blfs-bootscripts package:

make install-nfs-server

And configure it:

cat > /etc/sysconfig/nfs-server << "EOF"
PORT="2049"
PROCESSES="8"
QUOTAS="no"
KILLDELAY="10"
EOF
